Scott Schnoll from the Exchange UE team has created a great blogcast series covering the new Standby Continuous Replication (SCR) feature introduced in Exchange 2007 SP1.

Check it out here.

We’ve refreshed our online documentation for Exchange 2007, and it includes content on Service Pack 1!  This content is newer and fresher than the ExchHelp.CHM (Help file) that ships with Beta 2, and it includes content not found in that CHM file.

This content includes information about:

• What’s New in SP1
• Standby Continuous Replication
• Upgrading Clustered Mailbox Servers to SP1
• Monitoring Continuous Replication
• New High Availability Features in SP1
• How to Install Exchange 2007 SP1 Prerequisites on Windows Server 2008

The September MMMUG meeting will be held in London at the new MS offices near Victoria. This month they have Ben Appleby from MCS back, who helped lead the great session we had in July. The topics this time will be Exchange Message Transport with a particular look at Edge Security.

The meeting will be held on Wednesday 26th September. Directions to the venue can be found below.

The meeting will be a mixture of PowerPoint and Discussions so there will be plenty of time to run through your questions.

Here are the details for the October MMMUG meeting.

This month they have something completely different! Firstly a new venue for MMMUG, the Radisson Edwardian in Mayfair. http://www.radissonedwardian.com/londonuk_mayfair

This event is also at a slightly different time than normal and, whilst it I understand it may make it a little harder to attend for some I hope you will be able to make it.

As you may know MS in combination with some big partners will be running a series of Unified Communication Roadshow events during October and this MMMUG event will follow directly after the event on Thursday October 25th hosted by Dimension Data. Directions to the venue can be found below.

Continuing the different feel to the event, they will be trying out a completely new format. The focus point will be a panel session made up of Eileen Brown, Mark Deakin, Brett Johnson and Jason Langridge. The panel will be there to discuss your questions and to have a look at the future of Unified Communications. Surrounding the panel session there will be food and drink and a chance to have a hands on look at the MS Unified Communications technologies (Exchange UM, LCS, OCS etc).
